66% het (a.k.a poss het): means that each egg has a 66% chance of being het. Works like this (this is only to show odds and not to show what you will get.
This is incorrect. 100% het for "whatever" means that the animal in question has a 100% probability of carrying one copy of the gene. The eggs have a 50% probability of getting the gene.

A 66% het animal, or more correctly a 66% probable het means that the animal in question has a 66% probability of being a het. If it is a het, then the eggs have a 50% probability of getting the gene, if it isn't, well, the eggs have a ZERO% probability of getting the gene.

Even then with the odds you still might miss and have to try next year.

50% het: is from a 100% het to a normal breeding.
The second part is correct.
